If you were alone on the planet, what would you do?

Someone already put it, but I probably wouldn't believe I was alone.
If if was for some weird reason made 100 percent certain I was alone I'd probably just go around taking drugs until I died. I would probably try and demolish large buildings for entertainment using weapons. If I survived that I'd probably try and learn to fly or sail because if i didnt I'd be trapped in England with its crap weather. Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them. Impersonation is treason.
I wrote short story once about a family that volunteered to test a habitat built into the side of a mountain. Completely self-contained to simulate a spaceship traveling to the stars. A few years into the test they get word that every other human on Earth had disappeared.
I suspect that I'd wake up and go through my routine day after day until I finally break a bone or get sick.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Go to the library and read loads of books.
When I get bored with that I'd change my name to Isherwood Williams and go find a hammer.
